urinalysis
The main purpose of urine test is to see if the Whipple has urinary tract infection. In addition to infection, urine test can also check renal function, urine sugar content, ketone content, pH value and various crystals.
If whipple has frequent urination, urgency, hematuria, inability to urinate, polyuria and other symptoms, you must have a urine test! For older dogs, the urine test at the annual inspection can observe the health status of the kidneys.
stool examination
Annual stool examination and regular deworming are steps that cannot be omitted. Remember to bring whipple's recent stool sample with you every annual inspection. If the baby starts to have diarrhea for no reason, stool examination is also a necessary means to eliminate parasites!
Let's talk about several statements about whether there are parasites in stool examination:
First of all, Whipple dogs are regularly deworming, and there are definitely no parasites.
Fact: No insect repellent can get rid of all parasites, so you can do a stool examination to determine whether there are parasites in the intestine.
Second, there are no bugs in whipple's poop, so there must be no parasites.
Fact: Many parasites just excrete eggs, so they are definitely invisible without a microscope.
Third, the stool examination found no bugs, so there must be no parasites.
Fact: The stool examination only takes a small number of samples, and there is a certain chance that parasites will be missed, leading to false negative results.
Whipple's regular check-ups are just like us. Be sure to remember to go at that time every year. Don't delay. Whipple is healthy, and its owner will be much more relaxed!
